About Me
My journey
I’m from the the Silicon Valley of India- Bangalore, a city once known for its green coverage. Somewhere between the transition of this city from the ‘garden city’ to the ‘concrete jungle’, I grew up.
1990 something - 2015
I started my journey in the realm of design at 18 when I began my undergraduation in architecture. Yes, I can design buildings and curate experiences in the physical space too! :)
2015 - 2020
I was gravitated towards UX Research because it brought me closer to what I enjoy most- learning about people, their behavior and experiences. I'm a great listener and I love asking the right questions. I thoroughly enjoy uncovering impactful stories and insights and using them to design meaningful experiences.
2020 - 2022
I moved across oceans to the cold yet beautiful state of Michigan to obtain a masters in Human Centered Design from University of Michigan. A program that provided me exposure to a wide range of research methods and its hands on application in academic projects.
2022 - 2024
4 years into the field, here I am, a UX Research practitioner, continuously learning and growing, using my design foundation to better empathize with users, evaluate their problems, establish their needs and contribute towards executing solutions.
